    maybe at the rear axel or at the top of the swing arm.but nope....

    Yes, greasing the swingarm pivots is a pain in the ***, I don't know why they didn't just put fittings on them. THe A-arms are less of a pain, but it still would be nicer for fittings on those too.

    What!?!?

    Why are you greasing your plastic polyeurathane bushings? I've never reased my quad.

    Polyurethane busings use a different kind of grease, and I would imagine it would need to be greased evrey so often, I have them on the sway bars on my car, I re-grease them about once a year, but I'd imagine with the conditions a quad see's they would definately need it.
